TOP PICK

Drilling some really interesting wells where the economics is really the condensate. This is really a play on oil prices coming back. When you look at the valuation versus a pure oil stock, it is trading at about a 2X lower multiple. Good value. Good management. Well hedged for 2015.

TOP PICK

Likes that they hedged out a lot of their gas and condensate production for the next year. Great asset and no debt problem. A lot of other companies would strategically like to own this asset.

DON'T BUY

The Montney is certainly attractive. It has been an area of focus for many energy companies. Ultimately what is attractive, is an LNG solution at some point. His only concern on this company is that it is a gas weighted name. There is really no catalyst for gas other than the seasonality. It has been a weak, weak time in general. He sees both gas and oil trading sideways for the next year.

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Great company but too expensive as a stock. He would sell this one to buy Tourmaline (TOU-T).

DON'T BUY

Natural gas has done very well because of a very, very cold April. The massive surface of gas storage has been whittled down to a deficit now, quite significantly. We are now in the shoulder season where weather is pretty tempered, so it is not until the summertime when it gets really warm that we burn a lot of gas to meet air conditioning needs. This stock is approaching levels that are pretty rich and wouldn’t be surprised if the company came to market to try to de-lever to ramp up CapX because they are sitting on a profitable liquids rich play. There are more attractive opportunities elsewhere.

HOLD

Has been a bit of an enigma for the past couple of years. Great quality assets and great management but market never really liked it going back several months but now has come into its own. Thinks it has probably run its course in terms of value on a relative basis. Great assets. He thinks there are more compelling relative values.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

(Market Call Minute) He is looking for an entry point. One of the most exciting plays developing in the basin. Economics continuing to improve via lower well costs and better recoveries.

BUY

Has come back from hard times. New management. A well run company. It is a matter of re-deploying capital into the play. It is in an earlier stage of proving out. He bought within the last year.

COMMENT
Stock is now about the 20, 50 and 200 day moving averages. There is a little of an upward trend. There will be some resistance at around $7.
COMMENT
How does volume play into your analysis? Volume is conviction. If you just get one day, it could be an institution buying, which may or may not mean anything. If there is a successive period of days where the volume is picking up and the stock is moving in the direction you want, it can be very significant. The chart indicates the stock appears to be basing and if the volume is picking up, it could be a very good sign or it could be a sign of a reversal of trend.
WATCH
Good buy. He met with company recently. Did a pretty good job of making the best of a challenging environment. They need to raise capital. They are muddling their way through into a higher gas price.
DON'T BUY
Over leveraged natural gas company with assets that he is not overly fond of. He would prefer other names.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Working through some pretty tough times. Has some pretty uneconomic gas.
SELL
You would have to be patient with this. New management is now going through their portfolio and divesting non-core assets. Expect you will be left with a less leveraged company. They have a Cardium and Montney gas play. Cardium results have been pretty crummy to date and the Montney has a sour nature to it. Consider this as a tax loss holding.
COMMENT
Reported some disappointment or some of their very important new plays and this is why the stock is not performed well. Trading cheaply because 70% of their operation is natural gas.
